“…The protective layer of concrete which serves to protect the reinforcement from the external environment will be significantly reduced. This will allow to decrease the weight of concrete structures while maintaining their strength properties and to produce lighter structures that can withstand higher loads [13].…”

The relevance of the topic of the work was shown by the accident of a multi-storey residential building in Miami, which was caused by corrosion of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete.There is a need to maintain the bearing capacity of structures for a long time in a humid climate, aggressive environmental influences and temperature fluctuations with a lower consumption of materials used.The use of titanium will allow changing some parameters of titanium concrete structures in comparison with reinforced concrete structures. The protective layer of concrete, which serves to protect the reinforcement from the effects of the external environment, will be significantly reduced. This will help to reduce the mass of concrete structures while maintaining strength properties and will allow you to create lighter structures that can withstand heavy loads.Strength tests were carried out on concrete blocks reinforced with smooth iron or titanium rods Ø10 mm, which showed the prospects of replacing steel reinforcement with titanium reinforcement in reinforced concrete.

The use of titanium bars as a near surface mounted (NSM) repair method for highway bridge deck slabs is investigated in this pilot study. Four full-scale slabs had half of their internal reinforcing steel cut resulting in an approximately a 40% loss of slab capacity; these represented 'damaged' slabs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of replacing these two cut bars in order to restore the original capacity of the slab. The four slabs were repaired using NSM titanium bars designed to restore either their capacity or stiffness of the cut bars. One slab from each group was repaired using a full-length straight bar while the other implemented a 'staple' type repair. Both approaches effectively restored the capacity of the slabs although each had significant impacts on the available ductility of the repaired slab. Repairs based on restoring lost bar strength resulted in preferable behavior. Restoring lost stiffness required four times as much titanium and resulted in over-reinforced sections showing little ductility.
